Searches to resume off the Wexford coast for missing fisherman

Tributes are being paid to the man who died after a fishing boat sank off Wexford at the weekend.

65-year-old Joe Sinnott from Kilmore was airlifted from the scene, off Hook Head, but died at University Hospital Waterford.

A search for the second man - named as Willie Whelan from Saltmills - was called off overnight due to weather conditions.

Local Independent Councillor, Ger Carthy, hopes searches can resume this morning:
